ST. LOUIS - The Missouri Department of Transportation will close the two right lanes on the westbound Poplar Street Bridge and the ramp from the bridge to westbound I-70 at 9 p.m. tonight for pavement repair work.

The ramp and all lanes will be reopened by 5 a.m. Friday.

The ramp to southbound I-55 will remain open, so drivers can detour using southbound I-55 to 7th Street, cross under the interstate, continue straight until Marion Street, then turn right and take northbound I-55 to westbound I-70.
